The Banquet (4)

(From Blue's Perspective)

Evelyn and Merrick were dancing, Mother was chatting with a noble woman, little Ava was nowhere to be seen and Demetrius went for some work. 

I was resting in a chair. Prince Caius, Crown Prince Carey offered me to dance with them and I could not refuse since most people were eyeing us with expectation. Now I was exhausted. 

"Are you alright?" Luc asked. 

"... Do I look like I am?"

"Not really. You look like you have gotten out of a tomb."

"That's how I am feeling."

"Ah, the Queen of Querencia... and the master of the magic tower of Querencia, I greet you both."

Both Luc and I looked at the direction where that voice came from and came face to face with a man with light brown skin and black hair. He had a rather great face and he was too muscular, but of the same height as Demetrius.
